Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whisk the aquafaba for about one minute till it gets foamy. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with a handheld mixer till well combined.

Stir in vanilla, milk mixed with vinegar, oil, and aquafaba. The mixture will look chunky, like cottage cheese.

Add flour, salt, baking soda, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir till combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until you don't see more flour. Don't overmix!

Mix in the chocolate chips, pour the mixture into a standard lined loaf pan with parchment paper, and put it in the oven for 35-40 mins. Take the cake out of the oven when the edges begin to turn golden brown: and there isn't any wet batter when inserting a toothpick or fork in the center of the cake.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 mins, and then take it out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. Cool the cake for another 20 minutes before cutting it.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Aquafaba Whipping Technique 🥚
Whip aquafaba for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form—this creates the cake's moisture and lift, similar to traditional eggs. Don't skip this step as it's crucial for achieving a tender crumb.
Chocolate Chip Tempering 🍫
Melt your white and semi-sweet chocolate chips separately in a double boiler at low heat, then fold them into the batter gently to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution throughout the cake.
Plant-Based Milk Activation 🥛
Mix plant-based milk with vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to create a vegan buttermilk that reacts with baking soda, producing better rise and a more tender crumb.
Oil-to-Cocoa Balance ⚖️
Use vegetable oil as your fat source rather than vegan butter for this recipe—it keeps the cake incredibly moist and prevents the dry texture common in vegan baking.
Cooling and Frosting Timing ❄️
Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting (at least 2 hours)—this prevents the chocolate frosting from melting and ensures clean, professional-looking layers.
